    Things have been a bit quiet in the old Mirror newspapers but 33 years and one day ago this ad appeared.
    It makes a change from Woolworth's advertising tapes. Sony HDF90s for 60p each sounds like a good deal.
    For those outside the U.K. the C0-op is a supermarket so they could have advertised anything from soup to washing powder. But they chose that day to advertise a deal on Sony Tapes.

    They really pulled out all the stops in the early to mid 80s trying to cut off the CD explosion! it appears they just flooded the market with different kinds of tapes.

    It is still waiting for me to set it up. Latest purchase was a DRR-F100 cassette deck. It just needed a new belt on the drawer. I have these two as well (not the ones in the listing but identical ones)

    I suspect that Denon was the last manufacturer to offer quality mini component systems.

    Yes, Denon had some really nice looking mini's, I think there were more outside of the USA but they do pop up here.

    Overmodulated, I don't think they were worrying about CD's yet but they were concerned with the latest and greatest from the other manufacturers. I want to think they embraced the CD's before they became recordable since cassette was the preferred portable format until at least 1992. I have to believe the compact cassette industry was huge and made a ton of money for everyone.
